Knucklebones - rules
Each player has 3 columns at their disposal, in each column they can place a maximum of 3 dice. The players alternately roll 1 dice and choose the column and place where they want to place it.
- A dice's point value is equal to the number appearing on it .
- Arranging several dice with the same value in a given column will trigger combos . If there are 2 identical dice in the column, the sum of the dice is multiplied by 2. 3 identical dice results in a x9 multiplier.
- If a dice with the same number as in the opponent's column is placed in the opposite column, the opponent loses all dice of that value .
Creating combos and eliminating the opponent's dice, especially the high-scoring ones, is the key to victory. Sometimes it's worth giving up creating your own combo to get rid of the enemy's points.
